Busting Management Myths with Henry Mintzberg
Listen to Shepheard-Walwyn Podcast
In this episode, Jonathan Brown welcomes back Henry Mintzberg to unpack the biggest myths in management and leadership. Drawing on decades of observation and the ideas behind “Bust Those Management Myths”, he challenges popular assumptions about what managers do, why leadership gets over-glorified, and how business schools, buzzwords and management fashions can distort the real work of organising people.
The discussion also explores why serendipity matters, what remote work can’t fully replace, why AI should be approached with caution rather than hype and how “people disconnect” sits at the centre of so many management failures.
